Directions

2Butter two baking pans 22 cm (9 in.) in diameter. In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside. In another bowl, combine buttermilk and cream. Set aside.
3In a large bowl, beat butter with 250ml (1 cup) of sugar. Add vanilla extract, eggs one by one and chocolate melted in the top of a double boiler. Beat again.
4Fold dry mixture with liquid mixture, alternating as follows: one-third dry ingredients, one-half liquid ingredients, one-third dry ingredients, one-half liquid ingredients and one-third dry ingredients.
5Pour equal amounts of resulting batter into the 2 baking pans and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and remove from pans. Cut cakes in half horizontally.
6Heat water, cranberries and remaining sugar in a saucepan until simmering. Whip cream and icing sugar in a bowl. Spread first cake layer with one-third of syrup and cranberry mixture and cover with one-fifth of whipped cream mixture.
7Place a second cake layer on top and repeat, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top and sides of cake. Garnish with cranberries and dark chocolate chips.
